complete the reading before the day for which a reading is listed;
review it again as needed.

Texts

Alta Macadam, Rome, Blue Guide, sixth edition

NOTA BENE!

On one Wednesday yet to be determined,
all Rome Center classes will be canceled in favor of a Papal Audience.
Therefore this schedule does not mark a class for the last Wednesday
of the term:
when the Wednesday for visiting the Vatican is determined,
we will slide down a week all classes after it,
so as to come out even.
Watch out for scheduling announcements!

This schedule notes the main area for our visits in a general way;
specific times and places for our meetings will be posted in advance
each week on the notice-board in the porter's lodge.

Be sure to allow plenty of time (usually an hour or more) to get from the Rome Center to
the meeting-point. Our time together is limited, and we have a lot
to explore, so we will have to be ruthlessly prompt.

Wear clothing in which you will be comfortable walking outdoors,
sometimes at great length, no matter what the weather is doing to us.
Sturdy, comfortable shoes are essential.
